Description

Essential Job Functions & Minimum Requirements Role Overview The Quality Control (QC) Engineer will ensure product quality, process compliance and continuous improvement across manufacturing operations within the automotive product line. This role combines hands-on inspection, data analysis and cross-functional coordination to verify that parts and assemblies meet design specifications, safety standards and customer requirements from incoming materials through final release. Key Responsibilities Inspection and testing: Perform incoming, in-process and final inspections using appropriate measurement tools and test equipment; validate dimensional, functional and cosmetic requirements against specifications and control plans. Non-conformance management: Identify, document and segregate non-conforming materials and products; raise and investigate NCRs (Non-Conformance Reports), determine root cause and support containment and corrective actions. Process monitoring: Monitor production processes and quality metrics (e.g. scrap, yield, PPAP, SPC); conduct regular audits and inspections to ensure adherence to work instructions and quality procedures. Data analysis and reporting: Collect and analyse inspection data; prepare quality reports, trend charts and KPIs to support management review and decision-making. Continuous improvement: Support and lead improvement projects (6S, Lean, Six Sigma) to reduce variability, waste and defects; propose and implement process changes and monitor effectiveness. Supplier quality: Liaise with suppliers to communicate quality requirements, perform supplier audits where required and support incoming material quality improvements. Documentation and compliance: Maintain and update quality documentation including control plans, inspection routes, work instructions and test records; ensure compliance with automotive standards (IATF 16949) and customer-specific requirements. Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with production, engineering, design and logistics teams to resolve quality issues, support new product introductions and ensure effective handover of corrective actions. Training and support: Provide training and guidance to production staff on inspection techniques, measurement systems and quality awareness; ensure correct use of gauges and test equipment. Essential Skills & Competencies Technical knowledge: Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, measurement techniques and quality control principles; ability to read engineering drawings and specifications. Analytical ability: Competent in data analysis, root cause investigation and use of statistical tools (SPC, FMEA) to drive corrective and preventive actions. Attention to detail: Meticulous approach to inspection and documentation, ensuring accuracy and traceability of records. Communication skills: Clear verbal and written communication; able to explain technical findings to production staff, engineers and suppliers. IT proficiency: Experience with quality management systems, Microsoft Office (Excel for data analysis) and familiarity with measurement software or databases. Problem solving: Practical, methodical approach to diagnosing issues and implementing robust solutions under time constraints. Desired Traits Proactive: Anticipates quality risks and takes initiative to prevent recurrence. Collaborative: Works effectively across teams, building strong relationships to achieve shared quality objectives. Organised: Manages priorities, maintains accurate records and follows established procedures consistently. Adaptable: Comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and responding to changing production demands. Qualifications & Experience Degree or HNC/HND in Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Technology or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience. 2+ years’ experience in quality control or quality engineering within the automotive or similar manufacturing sector preferred. Familiarity with automotive quality standards (IATF 16949) and customer-specific requirements; experience with PPAP, APQP and FMEA is advantageous. Experience using inspection equipment (calipers, micrometers, CMMs) and knowledge of measurement uncertainty; CAD awareness is beneficial. Practical experience with quality management systems and continuous improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma) is desirable.
